A bacteria culture follows the differential equation dydt=ky (1200−y)\dfrac{dy}{dt}=k y\,(1200-y), where k>0k>0 and yy is measured in cells. At which of the following population sizes is the culture increasing at the greatest instantaneous rate? a) y=900y = 900 b) y=300y = 300 c) y=600y = 600 d) y=1200y = 1200
